Listen "The Proper Channels of dealing with YPs "
Episode Synopsis
Ever wonder what happens when podcast opportunity knocks but uses the wrong doorbell? Michael Gillespie opens this episode with a cautionary tale about business opportunities that don't follow proper channels. Despite tempting collaboration offers landing in his personal inbox, Michael's military background taught him to question why these potential partners bypassed his clearly posted business email. His thoughtful analysis reminds creators that legitimate opportunities typically respect established protocols.The heart of the episode dives into Michael's experiences managing "YPs" (Young People) in the workplace, painting a nuanced portrait that defies generational stereotypes. We meet an exceptional young employee balancing her day job with entrepreneurial side hustles and film appearances, whose brutal honesty about Michael's music choices earned his deepest respect. The episode reaches its comedic peak with Michael's introduction of "Thug 1" and "Thug 2" – particularly the latter, whose 4'4" frame houses an intimidating presence that has Michael genuinely scared despite their significant height difference. When she threatens to "put someone on a shirt" (referring to memorial t-shirts), Michael's entertaining fear perfectly captures the surprising dynamics that can emerge in workplace relationships. Through laughter and reflection, this episode offers valuable insights about authenticity, proper communication channels, and managing diverse personalities in professional environments.Text and Talk!
